Pet insurance is for paw-rents seeking a financial safety net for accidents or illnesses that their pets might experience in the future.

Pet insurance plans provided from Spot have deductibles, reimbursement percentages, annual limits, and premiums.

Once you have your custom pet insurance policy and have paid your premium on a monthly or annual schedule, you carry on as usual!

When you need to visit the vet for a covered condition, you can submit a claim for reimbursement of the eligible expenses.

DEDUCTIBLES 

Your annual deductible amount applies during each policy period. You must satisfy your annual deductible before your reimbursements start. 

PAYOUTS

You get to select your reimbursement percentage when you enroll in a plan provided by Spot. Once your deductible is met, you will be reimbursed for eligible expenses according to the reimbursement percentage you select.

WAITING PERIODS

There is a 14-day waiting period for coverage. The waiting period begins on the first effective date of the applicable coverage. Any condition that occurs during an applicable waiting period is a pre-existing condition and is not eligible for coverage.

There is no waiting period for preventive care coverage if you choose to add it to your plan. Find more information on preventative care coverage here.

PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS

Illness, disease, injury, or change to your pet’s health that first occurs or shows symptoms before coverage is effective or during a waiting period. This includes conditions that are related to, secondary, or resultant from a pre-existing condition.  Pet Insurance plans provided by Spot do not cover pre-existing conditions.

Visit our dog insurance and cat insurance pages for more information about plans.

Plans provided by Spot do not cover pre-existing conditions.  

A pre-existing condition is any injury or illness which occurs or shows symptoms before coverage starts or during a waiting period. A condition is considered pre-existing whether or not it’s been officially diagnosed or treated; all that matters is when it occurred or symptoms first displayed.

However, with plans provided by Spot, this doesn’t mean the condition can’t be covered in the future if the condition is curable. An injury or illness that is curable, cured, and free of treatment and symptoms for 180 days will no longer be regarded as pre-existing, with the exception of knee and ligament conditions. If a knee or ligament condition occurs before the coverage effective date or during a waiting period, any future ones won’t be covered.

Plans provided by Spot don’t have an upper age limit for new enrollments or coverage. We advise all paw-rents to insure their pet at a young age.  You can enroll your pet in plan from Spot as soon as they’re 8 weeks old.  Don’t let your pet develop a “pre-existing condition” before they’re insured.
